    Luis Suárez

    Compare them in La Liga performance or Classico performances (I think pretty close). Almost every year there is no higher level of football played than in Classicos and this year included 2 extra in the CDR where the clubs went all in it (Real's only chance to get anything from the season and...

    Philippe Coutinho

    I don't think they have any plans for Alli to go or play less, makes sense as a contingency plan if Eriksen is sold though.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Not really, who can play ACM? Both Vidal and Rakitic are better at that than our alternatives unless Coutinho or Griezmann could make that transition and those are massive maybes. Since we have not and not seem likely to have bought someone like Felix or Bruno F or Ndombele or Havertz or Eriksen...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    I am with EGT. I thin Rafinha is slightly underrated. When healthy he is a cut above Alena/Denis/Gomes etc. Not great but better than them in talent/understanding his role. But unless Coutinho/Vidal/Rakitic are sold he is not going to play winger or central attacking mid over them. Can also...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I got to thinking about Firpo coming and Malcom out. Of course I saw just about all Malom's minutes last season---so have my own views outside of metrics, but very little of Firpo. So let's look at metrics. Firpo is #5 on Betis among the 21 players with 500 minutes in La Liga. (total...

    Ivan Rakitić

    He would arguably be the best central midfielder in that league. You can see players like Lucas Leiva become very good players in serie a when they are completely overwhelmed in a pacier and more technical league. Rakitic would do very well there.

    Philippe Coutinho

    I don't mind a nearly 30 mil loan in general, but with Malcom also leaving I'd rather not have him leave at all unless we bring in Bruno F or some other attacking player. Arsenal is a good play for him, in the EPl, has Europe, and great forwards to serve and open the field for him. He is way...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Felix 127, De Ligt at 86, Lucas at 80, heck year FDJ deal look good. Only other surprising low price IMO was Jovic at 60. FDJ and Jovic looks like best risk/reward/fee out there.

    Junior Firpo

    I think your probably right (good case he is 2nd in the EPL) but I think Robertson is a whole another caliber better, in fact him and Alba I think were pretty clearly the best in the world last year but Alba's shockingly bad defensive performsance in leg 2 I'd say swings in to Robertson...

    Junior Firpo

    Just for some reference Wan-Bissaka (RB) went for 50 + 7 variables. Pretty close to double our deal. Hernandez (LB, CB) went for pretty close to triple this. Mendy (LB) went for between those two, 2.5x Firpo's deal. Sessegnon (LB, 1 year ever in big leagues and poor metrics on a disastrous...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I know it is hard to hear but it isn't about you. You can think what you want about me or anyone else, but I'll call out your BS and d@ckesh behaviors when directed about Barca players and posters because it is ABOUT THEM.

    Malcom

    Does anyone really think Real, Barca, Bayern, United, City, Psg at all sell relative to what they spend? Real has some decent sales because they have spent more than anyone for the past 2 decades, and once in a while they can get a good fee out of the many more they keep or contracts/fees they...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well Zidane and I don't agree much but I think we can agree you frequently post like an immature twat. I'd rather call you out than ignore. And to me the irony in your username with how so often you post is stupendously funny. Between occasionally learning a new perspective on our fav...

    Nicolas Pépé

    Um no. They may have the 2nd or 3rd best in their league though. Liverpool is the only group that rival's Barca's considering all aspects of football. It will be an open question between us and them who the best front is and it is largely dependent on how Griezmann's integration goes.

    Nicolas Pépé

    So he is going to going to double duty for the 10 meter platform in the offsean, bc if Robben is known for anything above all else it is this. BTW I think an excellent signing.

    Paulo Dybala

    not saying it is about you guys but it is a good point, and completely missing in so much of the Coutinho discussion. Good player, in some ways a great player, bad fit. Everyone be grown ups about it.

    Just not his or her shtick, it is the ultimate irony within the username.

    Philippe Coutinho

    I think he has already said he won't go to United because of his Reds ties. City has the deepest team in the world, and so much quality in his position. I guess if Sane goes maybe there is a little more room. I still think PSG or Chelsea are best for all parties, though for Chelsea it would...

    Samuel Umtiti

    I want him gone if there is a good offer. #1 I don't think he will be back to form, and I think in form a tad overrated. (plays cavalier for a CB) #2 I do think he was distracted and that was a factor in our Roma loss and loss of form during that stretch. #3 he played (or allowed his agent...
